A Quantum Technologies Policy Primer
Author: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
A Quantum Technologies Policy Primer is an OECD publication examining the transformative potential of quantum technologies and their implications for digital economies, societies, and public policy. Its primary objective is to provide governments and policymakers with an initial framework for understanding quantum technologies, their opportunities and limitations, and the policies required to support their responsible development. The report introduces the three main areas of quantum technologies: quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum sensing. It examines their capabilities, limitations, potential commercial applications, and contributions to sectors such as healthcare, energy, finance, transportation, and industry. It also considers global investment trends, research capabilities, and barriers to commercialization. Another major focus is the economic, security, and societal implications of quantum technologies. The report addresses digital security and privacy risks, dual-use applications, supply-chain constraints, workforce shortages, and inequalities in access to quantum capabilities. It highlights the role of governments in supporting emerging technology ecosystems, developing skilled workforces, strengthening international collaboration, and establishing anticipatory governance frameworks.
